@ -8,8 +8,9 @@ Overview
--------
These events are similar to tracepoint based events. Instead of Tracepoint,
this is based on kprobes (kprobe and kretprobe). So it can probe wherever
kprobes can probe (this means, all functions body except for __kprobes
functions). Unlike the Tracepoint based event, this can be added and removed
kprobes can probe (this means, all functions except those with
__kprobes/nokprobe_inline annotation and those marked NOKPROBE_SYMBOL).
Unlike the Tracepoint based event, this can be added and removed
dynamically, on the fly.
To enable this feature, build your kernel with CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y.
